Get ready to vote

Two community-wide events kick off the 2012 Sun City Election season this month.

Meet your board of directors candidates will take place at 7 p.m. March 26 in Magnolia Hall. Board of directors issues and views will take place at 8 a.m. March 27 in the Pinckney Hall ballroom. All events are open to Sun City residents.

Al Burfeind and Frank Szczurek are running for the open resident spot on the board of directors this year.

More information about the candidates will be available this month with the delivery of the election supplement with the April issue of SunSations, and after campaigning begins March 26.

In addition to the board election, 20 neighborhoods are electing neighborhood representatives and alternate representatives this year.

Even though many of the neighborhood elections are uncontested, it is important to vote. The board of directors candidates must have a 20 percent quorum and 10 percent is needed to validate the neighborhood representative and alternate representative election.

Ballots will be delivered with the April SunSations. You can start voting April 7 by logging into www.schhnews.com or by dropping off or mailing your ballot to Palmetto Commons.
